New Forms of Procurement: PPP and Relational Contracting in the 21st century

Abstract

[...]their adoption in contexts beyond those countries that first trifled with the idea of bringing in private-sector expertise and off-balance-sheet financing for the development of public sector infrastructure and service provision, has created room for new work to be undertaken. New Forms of Procurement: PPP and Relational Contracting in the twenty-first Century is a compilation of chapters authored by researchers and practitioners and is part of Routledge’s “Spon Research” series that has been bringing together advanced research in the built environment disciplines for a decade. Ranging from emerging issues in risk to evaluations of PPP initiatives to the adoption of relational contracting in new parts of the world (such as Asia) to technical aspects of collaborative arrangements such as design management, the text is rich in detail and develops a wide-ranging understanding of issues pertinent to the use of PPPs in different parts of the world.
